Description
Seven authors led by D Giakoumettis present a 2024 case report and review on a rare pairing of two conditions. One is Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome, a birth condition with blood vessel flaws, bone changes, and overgrowth of a limb. The other is Chiari I malformation, where brain tissue dips into the spinal canal.
Their case is a 27-year-old woman whose weakness in all four limbs grew worse until surgeons opened space at the base of her skull in an emergency operation. Her recovery was rough, with a ruptured spleen that also needed surgery, yet by three months she could walk with a stick. The authors also reviewed past reports and found fifty-five patients with the syndrome who needed brain or spine surgery.
